M is for Meursault

Meursault are from Edinburgh, and play uniquely voiced glitch folk. I’m very much looking forward to their new album, that drops about April 10th I think.

They’re on Song, By Toad Records – a record label started by Matthew from the always excellent Song, By Toad blog

Steve Mason – Lost and Found

Just in case nobody else has heard this track or seen this video thought I’d leave this here.

Simply gorgeous.

b is for ballboy

I was thinking about good first lines, and went to find some ballboy on YouTube, realising I hadn’t seen the video for “I Hate Scotland” before, and got utter goosebumps – so that makes b be ballboy…

ballboy have kindly put up the mp3 of the song too, for free download.

their website is well worth a visit

C is for Conquering Animal Sound

Euan at mini50 records mailed me about a band called Conquering Animal Sound from Edinburgh, so, they’re filling the “c” slot in the A-Z of Scottish Indie. Though I don’t think they sound Scottish – more like a beautiful broketronica Bjork and amazing with it.

Very promising indeed, hopefully I’ll get to see them if I get to the Meursault album launch. The song   “Alice Shoes” is for sharing, and if you go to their myspace here you can hear a song called “Giant” which I think is fab and is going to be on the single that’s about to come out. The other tune on their myspace is “Maschine” which is even better still!

New Fannies!

Teenage Fanclub are back, after what seems like eternity, such a long time that it feels weird that they even have a website. I feel weird looking at their website, but I don’t however feel weird listening to their music.

The preview track from their new LP is called“Baby Lee”

I love Teenage Fanclub and have loved them since I was wee.

I’m sure there’s lots of Fannie fans amongst us ‘Spillers, so let’s try the impossible and pick our favourite song by them please, in the comments!

O is for Over The Wall

I never knew there was a video for this bit o’ Scots indie, but there is, and it’s a good place to start.
